The Trojans, who were stunned by Stanford 41–31 in Week 3, have scored 145 points through three games behind quarterback Cody Kessler's 922 yards and 10 touchdowns. Kessler, a senior, has completed close to 79% of his passes and has yet to commit a turnover this season.

After dropping a Week 1 matchup against Texas A&M, Arizona State has bounced back nicely with two straight wins heading to Pac-12 play. The Sun Devils' offense is averaging 28.7 points and 423.7 yards per game, and redshirt senior quarterback Mike Bercovici has seven touchdowns against just one interception with a 61.9 completion percentage this season for Arizona State.
